Tiny Texas Houses


Much has been written about McMansions and their generally detrimental effects upon the residential landscape, aestheticism, and most importantly the environment. With this in mind, it was most refreshing to stumble across Brad Kittel’s work at Tiny Texas Houses.

Kittel designs and build tiny houses – the largest so far being about 4 x 9 metres – through ‘Salvage Building’. Owners can choose from an enormous supply of salvaged doors, beams, and other fittings, to create a perfect tiny dwelling. They are then trucked from Texas to the owner’s property.

Often the tiny houses go over several storeys and incorporate lofts, higher levels and porches. While they are seriously tiny (although no worse than many student apartments in Melbourne!) they look gloriously cosy and seem to have everything you’d need.

There’s an interesting article in the New York Times about the trend away from larger-than-life living.

  3. In my vision of the future ( twenty years or less) we live in blocks upon blocks of three story apartments of hundred square foot or less, with elderly at the bottom, families second floor and singles on top floor, buildings in the center of the blocks will house school library, store and medical office etc, restaurants and such. No local transportation required. Go from there to local water purification, solar and wind power collection, sewage treatment all small and local too.

  4. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could
    add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping
    maybe you would have some experience with something like this.

  21. I think that what you said was very reasonable. However, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier post title? I am not suggesting your information isn’t good., however what if you added something that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is a little plain. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they write news headlines to grab people interested. You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.|
